The writer-narrator of The Bulgarian Truck has hit upon a new technique for writing a novel, which he calls "a building site
beneath the open sky," but he cannot persuade his more widely read wife, Marianne, a character from an earlier novel, that
it is any good. Meanwhile, the narrator's extramarital affair with Milena, a young Slovak novelist who writes in French, turns
sour. Interspersed among the narrator's accounts of his novel's growing pains are stories of the characters he has invented-Tsvetan,
a Bulgarian truck driver, and Beatrice, an impenetrable French erotic dancer-unfolding according to their own logic while
hurtling toward a fatal conclusion.

Dumitru Tsepeneag is one of the most innovative Romanian writers of the second half of the twentieth century. In 1975, while
he was in France, his citizenship was revoked by Ceaucescu, and he was forced into exile. In the 1980s, he started to write
in French. He returned to his native language after the Ceau?escu regime ended, but continues to write in his adopted language
as well.
